№ 5. Read and discuss with your friends.
About Books (after O. Wilde)
Books, I believe, may be divided into three classes:
1) books to read;
2) books to re-read;
3) books not to read at all.
The third class is the most important. To tell people what to read is, as a rule, either
useless or harmful. But to tell people what not to read is a very different matter.
It is indeed necessary in this age of ours, an age that reads so much, that it has no
time to admire, and writes so much that it has no time to think. Whoever will select “The
Worst Hundred Books” and publish a list of them will give the rising generation a real and
lasting service.
